Beer?

[Crackle]

Is that the Duvel? One euro 95 cents for a third of litre here. Abut five squids a litre.

Yep. Quite a difference, triple hop, triple price.

I can report that the Old Growler I posted earlier in the thread is delicious. Shame as they had no more before when I was trying to buy one to keep it company.

In the light of DP's picture of the anal couple may I offer this graffiti-ed Dyson hand-dryer in my local...

We have beer to help us survive Christmas shopping-give me Christmas hopping instead

Bottle of Hooky next. Not bad. Should probably have stuck to the Ruby beers, which I think I'll buy more of but this isn't bad.

I blame an upbringing on Brown bitter for my tastes. I like the fizzy Belgian stuff too but it doesn't have the same place in my heart.

XX Rye Tripel Reserva 2012 (Bourbon Barrel Aged) from De Struise.

Dark for a tripel. Can taste tripel type esters, but also get quadruple dried fruit and then vanilla bourbon.

Brekkie is sorted!

Just had a taste of the stout I've got on the go at the moment... Phwoar! Dry as a bone, roasty flavours with a hit of astringent hop bitterness, about 5% abv. Magic.

Goose Island Honkers ale, described as an English ale, which I didn't realize when I bought it

It isn't an English ale but it's nay bad. A touch fizzy, which is very un-ale like and a bit dry for me but drinkable, definitely drinkable.

They had very few of the American beers you chaps recommended. I got that and a K9 which Smutch was a bit vague about. That's next.

Slim pickings...

You *must* try the Alaskan Smoked Porter. It's a bit different to the typical rauchbier - nicer, I reckon. Not to everyone's taste though.

I'd try the Magic Hat one too - I know of them by reputation but haven't actually tasted any of their beers.

I've has the FD K9 but I honestly can't remember what it was like. Not sure I was a huge fan though.

Yeah, not to my tastes unfortunately. A bit liquorice'ee, which I don't like.

I'll move on from the American beers I think. Might get a re-visit in the new year.

Harviestoun Porter, the label says viscous, bittersweet and dark, that's it really - good stuff too!
